SHV-7, a novel cefotaxime-hydrolyzing beta-lactamase, identified in Escherichia coli isolates from hospitalized nursing home patients.

Bradford, P A, Urban, C, Jaiswal, A, Mariano, N, Rasmussen, B A, Projan, S J, ...

Four ceftazidime-resistant Escherichia coli strains were isolated from elderly nursing home patients in a New York hospital during 1993. Strains MCQ-2, MCQ-3, and MCQ-4 were determined to be...

Imipenem resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae is associated with the combination of ACT-1, a plasmid-mediated AmpC beta-lactamase, and the foss of an outer membrane protein.

Bradford, P A, Urban, C, Mariano, N, Projan, S J, Rahal, J J, Bush, K

Six Escherichia coli and 12 Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates from a single hospital expressed a common beta-lactamase with a pI of approximately 9.0 and were resistant to cefoxitin and cefotetan (MIC...

Bactericidal activity of ciprofloxacin against amikacin- and cefotaxime-resistant gram-negative bacilli and methicillin-resistant staphylococci.

Simberkoff, M S, Rahal, J J

The MICs and MBCs of ciprofloxacin were determined for clinical isolates of antibiotic-resistant aerobic bacteria. Decreased susceptibility to ciprofloxacin of cefotaxime- and amikacin-resistant...

Efficacy of a twelve-hourly ceftriaxone regimen in the treatment of serious bacterial infections.

Maslow, M J, Levine, J F, Pollock, A A, Simberkoff, M S, Rahal, J J

Eighteen patients with 21 serious infections were treated with ceftriaxone, 1 g intravenously every 12 h, for a mean duration of 8 days. Eighteen gram-negative and two gram-positive organisms were...

Pharmacokinetic characteristics of intravenous ceftriaxone in normal adults.

Pollock, A A, Tee, P E, Patel, I H, Spicehandler, J, Simberkoff, M S, Rahal, J J

The multiple-dose pharmacokinetics and tolerance of intravenous ceftriaxone were investigated in 44 adults with normal renal function. Doses of 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 g every 12 h and 2 g every 24 h were...

Radioimmunoassay and opsonic antibody responses to pneumococcal capsular polysaccharide vaccine in serum and ascitic fluid of cirrhotic patients.

Simberkoff, M S, Schiffman, G S, Spicehandler, J R, Moldover, N H, Rahal, J J

Pneumococcal capsular polysaccharide vaccine was administered to 19 cirrhotic patients and to 25 control subjects. Radioimmunoassay antibody concentration and opsonic titers (OT) were measured in...

Identification of TEM-26 beta-lactamase responsible for a major outbreak of ceftazidime-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae.

Urban, C, Meyer, K S, Mariano, N, Rahal, J J, Flamm, R, Rasmussen, B A, ...

An epidemic of nosocomial ceftazidime-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae was correlated with production of a ceftazidime-hydrolyzing enzyme with an isoelectric point of 5.6 (BMH-1). BMH-1 was encoded on...

Deficient cerebrospinal fluid opsonization in experimental Escherichia coli meningitis.

Bernhardt, L L, Simberkoff, M S, Rahal, J J

Infected cerebrospinal fluid from rabbits with Escherichia coli meningitis failed to opsonize the infecting organism. Cerebrospinal fluid from rabbits with Staphylococcus aureus meningitis did...

Penicillin-binding proteins in Borrelia burgdorferi.

Urban, C, Rahal, J J, Dattwyller, R J, Gorevic, P, Luft, B J

Penicillin-binding proteins were identified in Borrelia burgdorferi membranes. A 94-kilodalton penicillin-binding protein was the first to be labeled with tritiated penicillin and was the first band...
